Manny Pacquiao makes his return to the ring against WBC welterweight champ Mario Barrios in a 12-round grudge match, co-headlining with Sebastian Fundora vs. Tim Tszyu II—all live on Prime Video (7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 a.m. UK) from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 19. Expect no clinic—just straight-up war.
Pacquiao’s last stand vs. Barrios and Fundora’s savage rematch
Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs), a first-ballot Hall of Famer at 45, is chasing one more belt. After Hall induction in June, he’s trading age for glory against Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KOs), a 29-year-old two-division champ with a nearly seven-inch height edge. If Pacquiao wins, he shatters his own record as the oldest welterweight champ. If he stumbles, this could be his final curtain call—Barrios isn’t here to help him write history; he’s here to bury it.
Fundora (22-1-1, 14 KOs) already toppled Tszyu (25-2, 18 KOs) on short notice in March 2024—slicing him open and stealing a split decision. Tszyu’s gory cut became the story, but Fundora proved he belongs at the top. On July 19, Tszyu’s back with a full 12-week camp, bloodied pride, and a mission: reclaim what he lost. Fundora thinks he’s earned another violent display. Tszyu thinks Fundora got lucky. Neither can afford to be wrong.
Mexican mayhem and featherweight redemption
Isaac Cruz (27-3-1, 18 KOs) and Angel Fierro (22-3-2, 17 KOs) run it back in a 12-round super lightweight rematch after their first clash threw 1,400 punches over ten rounds. Cruz edged it, but Fierro thinks it was robbery. Now they’re meeting at 154 lbs, eyes on the WBA title, and fans expect raw Mexican chaos. Cruz is already a world champ, but Fierro wants to prove he deserved the win last time. Expect raw guts, heavy shots, and no quit from either.
Brandon Figueroa (25-2-1, 19 KOs) faces Joet Gonzalez (27-4, 15 KOs) in a 10-round featherweight scrap that opens the show. Figueroa needs a statement after dropping his belt to Stephen Fulton Jr. Gonzalez has three failed title bids but still believes he’s one win from redemption. No filler here—just two hungry fighters battling for survival in the 126-lb mix.
